I frequent the racetrack and like staying nearby. The hotel is only a mile or so from the track. The accomodations are nice with a generally friendly staff. Rooms are average in terms of ammenities: comfortable beds/bedding, flat screen television, sitting chair, and desk/chair. Breakfast is just average. For a free meal, it's ok, but if you're wanting something more substantial, I recommend traveling out. Overall, it's a good choice for the price (horsemen get a reduced rate). The managment could tweak a few things to bring this property up to snuff but for a good night's rest, it's pretty good.
Room Tip: I recommend the 4th floor...you don't hear people from the lobby shuffling in and out.

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel on TripAdvisor. The hotel is under new ownership and we are doing major renovations this spring. When you return for the next racing season, it will look like a brand new hotel. As for breakfast, Eggstyle is within walking distance and offers a full breakfast menu. I highly recommend Daddy's Grill, Eve's Restaurant and Paradise Restaurant that are just a short drive away. We look forward to having you as our guest next time you are visiting Tampa Bay Downs.
